Gravity Model by Panel Data Approach

Abstract: This article has examined the determinants of export and import flows of countries in the South Asia through estimations for a country panel data of eight countries during the period 1985–2011 using a gravity model. The estimated result suggests that gross domestic product (GDP) and population among other factors can explain export and import flows. Perhaps the most important finding of the study is that South Asia Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA) has produced trade creation among its members. Finally, the study f… Show more

“…Stojčić, Vojinić and Aralica (2018) proved that trade liberalization in the EU increased the quality of exports and the share of high technology intensive industries in its structure across all new member states, similarity we observed a positive impact of the EU on international trade. Kumar and Ahmed (2015) found that the South Asia Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA) produced trade creation among its members, and this study similarly proves that the EU as the integrating grouping has a stimulating impact on international trade. Cieślik, Michałek and Mycielski (2012) found that the adoption of the euro results in trade expansion for the CEE countries.…”

“…However, cross-section data collected for several time periods (panel data) result in more useful information. The advantage of using panel data is that it captures the relevant relationship among variables and can monitor ‘unobservable trading-partner-pairs’ individual effect (Kumar & Ahmed, 2015). Matyas (1997) is of the view that the gravity model should be used with exporter, importer and time effect as cross-section is affected by misspecification.…”

“…The study concludes that there is statistically no significant relationship between exchange rates and exports. In another study, Kumar and Sehgal Arora (2015) have found that India’s exports as well as imports from other BRICS countries have increased in the first decade of the present century, particularly with China followed by South Africa. However, the imports have increased more rapidly, resulting in an increasing trade deficit of India with these countries.…”

“…Thus, our result is supportive of prior studies. The average tariff rates (1 + Imp jt ) are an explicit measure of trade cost and higher tariff rates imposed by importing country tends to daunt export [77,78]. In other words, the export of a country is significantly determined by the tariff rate charged by the importing country.…”
